Legal aid, that will not aid you with the simplist of forms, If you're not an actual criminal needing to come up with your lies for court, they will not help you!

Just applied and really haven't heard from them yet though they said the day we talked that I would hear from them that afternoon or next morning. Lucky my court date isn't soon, I think I'd be screwed. Not sure for review yet, we'll see.

If you give them your information, they will most likely not call you back. They are not very helpful and I would not recommend this service for anybody.

Had some Maddy women not even read my case. Listened to the the opposite party and dropped it before getting my clarification. I'm the one with the PPO on my ex and had to leave Long story short she didn't do her job. Very unprofessional.This makes victims not want to seek help.
